teaching souls through the written word

It may come as a surprise to some that Jesus was actually God’s agent of creation.

“All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made . . . . and the world was made by him . . .” (John 1:3, 10).

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible . . . all things were created by him, and for him” (Colossians 1:16).

God has “in these last days spoken unto us by his Son . . . by whom also he made the worlds” (Hebrews 1:2).

Our Designer

Science continues to discover the spectacular evidences of Jesus’ creative handiwork—planets and caverns and plant and animal species unknown until recently. As research continues, we can expect many more marvels to come to light.

But even more astonishing is this: Jesus, the Creator of all, entered the womb of the virgin Mary, developed as babies do for the duration of the pregnancy, then was delivered into the world He Himself had made!

And yet even more astounding: “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him” (John 1:10).

Our decision

John goes on to explain, “He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him” (John 1:11). Even His hometown Nazareth rejected Him. “And He wondered at their unbelief” (Mark 6:6).

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born . . . of God” (John 1:12-13).
